California Black-Eye #5 Pea

Long harvest period.

Vining-type plant continues producing pods over a long harvest period, often right up to frost. It takes experience to judge the best time to pick for use as green shell peas, but the straw-colored dry pods are easy to distinguish when harvesting for dry bean storage. Soak overnight to reconstitute. Easy to shell as a dry bean, but not the easiest to shell for shell peas.

Seed Count:1/4 lb. is approximately 400 seeds, ( sows a 50 ft row) and 1 lb. is approximately 1600 seeds.

Size:7 inches.

Comments:Disease resistant. Smooth, large pea. Vigorous. Heavy yielding. Considered best of all black-eyed peas. 6 - 9 peas per pod.
